 		Total Time = 2h 27m 30s
Overall Rank = /
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 3/
Pre-race routine:

Woke up, drank some Beet Elite, packed the truck, ate a protein bar and sipped on some Base Rocket Fuel on the drive to the race site (20 miles). Unloaded the car, got body marked, set up transition.
Event warmup:

Light stretching, block out everyone.
Swim
  • 30m 58s
  • 1200 meters
  • 02m 35s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim was long. Had 1484m on my Garmin, other had similar numbers. Overall it was a decent swim for me, definitely slower than normal, but still 1st in my AG out of the water.
What would you do differently?:

A slightly more aggressive line would have saved me a minute or 2.
Transition 1
  • 01m 22s
Comments:

Average transition for me.
Bike
  • 58m 1s
  • 19 miles
  • 19.65 mile/hr
Comments:

Held back a little on the bike to save for my run.
What would you do differently?:

I should have been 3mph faster over 19miles. Held back too much.
Transition 2
  • 58m 1s
Comments:

Took time to put on socks since I was running in my Newton Gravity's and not my Newton Tri-Racers.
Run
  • 55m 45s
  • 4.5 miles
  • 12m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Slow as hell. I held the lead in my AG to 2.5 miles into the run. Walked more than I would have liked to. Still not running as much as I would like this year due to missing most of my running last year due to PF.
What would you do differently?:

Run more often, more brick workouts, drop some damn weight (currently 245lbs.)
Post race
Warm down:

Stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my fat ass

Event comments:

It's a shame it's the last year of this race
